FCC commissioner on 'equal time' after Colbert-CBS dispute

Season 2026 Episode 38 | 6m 42s

Late-night host Stephen Colbert is going after his soon-to-be former network, saying CBS blocked him from airing an interview with James Talarico, a Texas Democrat running for the Senate. CBS says it did not prohibit the broadcast, but advised Colbert that the interview could trigger the FCC's 'equal-time rule.' Amna Nawaz discussed more with FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez.
